FAQs

Do I need a referral for pelvic health therapy at Ivy Rehab?

Referral requirements vary depending on your state and insurance provider. Some locations allow direct access, meaning you can begin pelvic health therapy without a referral, while others may require one from your physician. To ensure a smooth start to your care, we recommend contacting your local Ivy Rehab clinic. Our team can help you understand the requirements in your area and assist with any necessary paperwork or next steps.

What does a pelvic health physical therapist do?

A pelvic health physical therapist specializes in treating conditions related to the pelvic floor—muscles that support bladder, bowel, and sexual function. They use non-surgical methods like manual therapy, exercise, and education to help manage issues such as incontinence, pelvic pain, prolapse, and recovery after childbirth or surgery. At Ivy Rehab, treatment is personalized and evidence-based, with a focus on helping patients feel supported and empowered.

What should I wear to my pelvic floor physical therapy appointment?

Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows for easy movement. Depending on your treatment plan, your therapist may ask you to perform light exercises or stretching, so clothing that gives you full range of motion is ideal. If an internal exam or manual therapy is part of your care, you’ll be properly draped to ensure your privacy and comfort at all times. Your therapist will walk you through each step to make sure you feel safe, informed, and respected throughout your visit.

Following a bad ski accident and required surgery (ACL replacement and meniscus tear), required PT . Although it has only been a 5 sessions, I feel significant improvement in my mobility . Stephen @ Ivy Rehab has been key with this process. Soft spoken but he gets results. Gradually increases the challenges… He was recommended by a friend and I want to pass on the recommendation!

Check in was easy and the gal was very helpful. The therapist was great, friendly and focused on my issue and was open to various questions and listening to my concerns.

I just started with the Island Park Ivy Physical Therapy office for outpatient rehabilitation after knee replacement surgery and one month of inpatient post surgical rehabilitation. The facility is well maintained and has a full complement of exercise equipment. My initial evaluation session and workout were excellent. I look forward to continuing and completing my post surgical physical therapy with them. I could not have asked for a better start to my recovery.

I was having some lower back issues which included some sciatica (pain in my legs). I worked with Hannah and her fun sidekick, Cora. They both were very personable and a joy to be around. They also made sure I did all the exercises correctly, and helped me strengthen and rehabilitate my back. I would highly recommend that PT spot if you’re having some injury issues that need rehab.
Response from the owner:Thank you !
I've been struggling with a bulging disc and sciatica pain radiating down my leg for almost a year now. At times, it was so painful I couldn't even walk more than a block, and getting a full night's sleep was impossible with the pain. At first I tried Spear for physical therapy—my first time in PT ever—and it just wasn't for me. While my care was okay, it reminded me of my college gym—a place for athletes (not me) that felt sort of clique-y. After a few months, I switched to Park Sports PT, and oh my god, night and day difference. My PT, Megan, and I immediately started talking about musicals and I could tell the vibe was so much more welcoming. I also noticed how much more carefully she watched my form while exercising, and gave me corrections. She also gave me manual treatments (Theragun and soft tissue massage), which my previous PT had never done and has made a big difference in how much I'm able to accomplish during my appointments. It's been almost five months now since starting at Park Sports, and I'm doing so much better—I'm a few weeks from graduating! I couldn't recommend the team more, not only Megan but the whole team (shout out to Amelia, Tyra, Taden, Ellis, and Emanuel!). Not only was my physical therapy itself excellent, but they helped guide me through two epidural steroid injections and are helping me with a game plan for what's next when I graduate. Truly a 10/10 experience!

I spent 5 months in PT following hip surgery, and Synergy was the best clinic I could have chosen! (I've been to other clinics that weren't quite as good.) All of the staff are kind, helpful and knowledgeable. They go out of their way to problem-solve and truly care about your progress and outcomes. I would be happy to go back to Synergy if I needed therapy again.

My doctor could not have referred me to a better physical therapy practice and location. Dr. Baver was so incredibly a perfect match for me regarding concussion management therapy. His expertise, compassion, and support made what initially felt like an overwhelming recovery journey so feasible. His knowledge and willingness to explain my condition, progress, setbacks, etc. was very helpful and also helped me have realistic goals outside of appointments. The team at the 1608 Walnut Street location as a whole has so much respect, kindness, knowledge, and a spirit of collaboration it's the kind of work culture that sets standards and other companies could be trained upon. They're committed to client care and care for one another and I highly recommend these folks.

When I was referred to IvyTherapy I was physically broken. I was constantly in pain and had limited use of my right shoulder, right hip, and left shoulder. Aaron went to work on me providing individualized, patient centered care. Aaron takes the time to understand each patient and what they hope to accomplish from the physical therapy. Aaron works with patients to accomplish their goat. Aaron is very knowledgeable and understands the underlying causes of pains and limited mobility. Before I started physical therapy with Aaron I was sleeping in my recliner because it hurts less than sleeping in my bed. I have one more physical therapy session left and I’m sleeping in my bed and has been pain free. I have maximum use of my right shoulder, right hip, and left shoulder and no pain. I would strongly recommend Ivy Therapy and Aaron for all you physical therapy needs.

Melanie has helped to get my post pregnancy body feeling back to normal, and she's done an incredible job. She's kind, patience, very knowledgeable, and encouraging.
Excellent PT group. Aaron and the office staff helped my daughter and I deal with our PT needs in a very individualized way. My daughter was dealing with a specialized foot issue and they were able to help her move forward and easily get through a vacation in which we averaged 20,000 steps a day. Office vibe is excellent and positive. Staff is wonderful from top to bottom. They also accept most insurance pans.

Jaylen is the best! She helped me so much with my hip pain. I wasn’t able to commit to visits long term but I learned a lot from her. Front desk staff are sweet too.
I took my daughter here for 2 months and Hannah was amazing with my daughter . She never wanted to leave . I really felt like she was able to understand my daughter. So sad that we had to transfer to a location closer to home. But if this location is near you I 100% recommend Hannah and Erica . They are amazing .

This is the best physical therapy place I have ever been to. From the moment you walk in, Tyler and the staff are incredibly welcoming and friendly making the entire experience enjoyable, which no one says about PT. I came in with an ankle injury from soccer and Tyler knew exactly what kind of programming was needed to get me back out on the field. I was highly impressed with his knowledge, guidance, and recommendations throughout the process. I strongly recommend this location, especially if you're an athlete looking to stay competitive.

I have been to a lot of different rehab clinics in my time. This is the BEST rehab clinic I have ever been to! The therapist explains why and how they will do your rehab. It is very clean and the atmosphere is positive. The therapist are the most knowledgeable and best I have ever had work on me. Yes there is pain when you do the exercises but no pain no gain. I look forward to going and getting better. They have a receptionist that is very nice and makes you feel welcome. She schedules your appointments and does her best to get you in at your convenience. As you can probably tell I cannot say enough good about Ivy Rehab.
I can't say enough about the exceptional Ivy Rehab team in Hoboken. I came here for PT following elbow surgery. From my initial phone call with Liz, the entire Ivy team was helpful, personable, professional and encouraging. A big shout to t Liz, Nicole, Jerry, Gracie, Crystal, Alexis and of course Anthony (and anyone else I've forgotten). Thank you all for the helping me through the healing process to get back to normal! And best of luck to the other patients I met. You're in good hands!

Excel PT was great. The staff are personable and skilled and my excellent physical therapist, Nick was compassionate and paid attention to the details of my treatment. He worked with me for six weeks as I recovered from a knee injury. and has set me up to not only feel better but also work on my strength. I highly recommend him!

The entire staff is wonderful. Ebony is the sweetest. She was always so kind and welcoming when we arrived to our appointments. Johnathan, Josh, Christian and Aaron were amazing also. Johnathan was our main therapist. He was exceptional. Johnathan explained the entire process to us and was always available to answer any questions we may have. 💯 satisfaction. Thank you!!!

I came here for a serious knee injury after a ski accident. I had 2 plates 9 screws in my knee. Huge shoutout to Tarry who I mostly worked with who really pushed me. Because of him I am almost at full knee ROM before 6 weeks post op. He explained to me how critical it was to push myself to get the flexion back early and I am glad he did even though it was painful at times. Though I switched clinics eventually due to logistical reasons I know my recovery was off to a strong start with Tarry.
